Max Caster’s TNA debut is still a point of discussion, but now it’s because of what happened after the show. Following the heavy backlash over his controversial Riyadh lyric at Bound for Glory, TNA has quietly removed the clip from its social media.
It looks like the video featuring Caster’s entrance rap has disappeared from TNA’s official Twitter account. Rather than issuing a statement, the company simply deleted the post altogether, leaving no trace of it. Anyone trying to visit the original link is now met with a message that reads:
“Hmm… this page doesn’t exist. Try searching for something else.”
The move comes after Caster faced widespread criticism for rapping, “I drop bombs, you don’t even have to fly to Riyadh,” just one day after the deadly attack at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. The lyric sparked outrage online, with many fans accusing Caster of making light of a real-world tragedy and calling on TNA to apologize or take disciplinary action.
While TNA hasn’t publicly commented on the controversy, removing the video is the clearest sign yet that the company was aware of the backlash. Whether the decision came from TNA itself or was made in response to the growing criticism hasn’t been confirmed.
Deleting the video doesn’t necessarily end the controversy, though. If anything, it’s likely to raise even more questions about whether TNA plans to address the situation publicly or simply move on and hope the story fades away.
Do you think deleting the video was enough, or should TNA publicly address the backlash surrounding Max Caster’s Bound for Glory rap? Let us know in the comments.
